Project Aims:
We aim to:
1. Create a student engagement model which enables personalised and effective interventions by staff
2. Evaluate the effectiveness of our real-time data-driven interventions
Our project uses technology to enhance student engagement.
UCD is using VLE activity to attain engagement insights, allowing student support staff to reach out and provide proactive support to students who may be struggling.
We also are sharing expertise on our activity, allowing for successes to be expanded in scope.
Through this research, a model with cross-sectoral applicability has been collaboratively developed, assisting transition to university life.
We aim for this model to assist other institutions with optimising and deploying student support resources.
